Maya's Story

     I’m a Memphis-based scenic designer, carpenter, welder, and artist with a BFA in Entertainment Design and Technical Production from the University of Memphis and a welding certification from William R. Moore College of Technology. My work spans nonprofit theatre and immersive environments, including roles with Theatre Memphis, Tennessee Shakespeare Company, and Memphis Botanic Garden’s My Big Backyard, where I’ve contributed as a scenic carpenter, charge artist, and metal fabricator.

     Growing up in a diverse, ever-changing environment shaped my resilience, adaptability, and empathy, which are qualities I bring into every project. I’m passionate about creating work that is both imaginative and accessible, and I strive to design spaces that invite connection and storytelling for all audiences.

     Driven by curiosity and a love of hands-on making, I’m constantly refining my craft, exploring new techniques, and collaborating with people from a wide range of backgrounds. I believe thoughtful design can make a meaningful impact, and I’m committed to creating work that resonates beyond the stage.
